  4. Say it with me now … A MASSIVE BAILOUT OF THE US ECONOMY

    Trump’s America is failing so badly that they have to bail out failing companies to prop it up, choosing the winners and losers has never been good policy.

  6. This is literally Fascism.

    “In a fascist system, private enterprise exists within a highly controlled, corporatist economic framework where the state dictates economic activity to achieve national goals like autarky and national rejuvenation. While private ownership and profit are allowed, the state uses its power to direct and subsidize corporations, effectively creating a merger of state and corporate power where private interests are subordinated to the perceived national interest.”

  7. My favorite small government is when the government owns shares of the biggest companies!  /s

  8. At the end of his term, these will be transferred to his Presidential Library funds controlled by his family.

  9. cankle rapist cant leave us soon enough, obv. but this specifically would also be happening under a (D) admin, guaranteed

  10. In America, private companies are owned by the state! In your best Russian comedian accent!

  11. So the State owning means production… gosh that sounds familiar 🤔

  12. I see this guy interviewed, and his body language strikes me as someone whose family is being held hostage and he needs to speak the party line or else they get wacked. If you have ANY kind of economic background, you can’t seriously believe what is going on with Trump’s policies are a good idea.

  13. So when mamdani wants to tax 2% on anything over 1m to help with things like homelessness, public transit, and to provide food to the poor we are supposed to hate communism but when the government wants to start owning companies we love it? I don’t fucking understand.

  14. “Take”….that’s a very interesting verb. MAGA of course will just continue to twist themselves into knots justifying this but this is all soooooo much worse than anything they predicted for the Dem take over they all dreamed of.

  15. Have to make failing companies state owned while paying the military trillions every year to fight communism xD

  16. I’m predicting that Elon Musk will fall out a window in the future

  17. Damn! How is that law project about insider trading going ?

    I bet its a close deal …..? Cause we are never going to cross the line between private and public…oh wait, nvm.

  18. I would point out that this is unconstitutional, but that doesn’t matter much in 2025, so
    ¯_ (ツ)_/¯

  20. Can anyone explain why? Is this just a Trump strong arming people to make it look like he is getting things done, instead of actually just getting useful things done?
